With Summer in full swing I have been struggling to keep my sandals organized in my closet. After I wear a pair it usually ends up in a pile at the base of my closet… which is a major fail! I felt that it was time to get organized and give my beloved sandals a proper place in my closet with the rest of my prized shoe collection. Check out this easy DIY 7 step tutorial on how I got organized and created individual sandal hangers!

Supplies Needed:

Wire hangers

Bright Color or Patterned Fabric

Wire Bender/Cutter

Fabric Glue

Rhinestones or broken jewelry pieces (optional – if you want some bling!)

Step 1: Cut the bottom corners of the wire hanger using your wire cutters.Step 2: Bend the hanger up at the center of each side to create a hook for each sandal.Step 3: Using your wire bender, bend each side at the ends to create an accented swirl.Step 4: Cut your desired fabric into 7-8 inch strips (depending on size of the hanger) and drape the strip over the top of the neck of the hanger allowing both ends of the strip to drape behind.Step 5: Glue the back of the fabric and fold the draped pieces over onto the glues section to adhere the ends to the back of the hanger. Wait 5-10 for glue to dry.Step 6: Once glue is dried, take your desired rhinestones or jewelry piece and glue the back. Adhere the statement piece to the front of the hanger. Wait 5-10 minutes for glue to dry.Step 7: Slide toe divider of sandal on each end of the hanger and voila! You have made individual hangers for your sandals.

Feel free to display these beauties on a rod in your closet or even purchase a tension rod at your local hardware store, suspend between 2 walls at the base of your closet and create a new space for your sandal collection.
